A Lovely Evening At The Westin
The hotel’s nice, but they nickel and dime you for lots of little things. Gets annoying after a while. Seven bucks for fifteen minutes on a PC? Buck and a half plus minutes for a phone call? Uh, no. How about maybe a couple of expensive beers and some time with the milbloggers, instead?
I just had a wonderful time meeting old friends I’d never seen before. Blackfive, Greyhawk, the Zs, the This Ain’t Hell guys, Roggio, Johannes, Andi, my wife’s old boss, American Soldier, and a bunch of others who I will have to mention tomorrow or so. Good folks all, and folks I’ve met online who have done great work. I shook the hand of the guy who beat Code Pink to the protest spot in front of Walter Reed. I met some folks I hadn’t met before and will enjoy following.
All in all, a lovely evening.

Wish I’d have been able to make it…to get to shake your hand.
Ah, maybe next year.
Get a full report up when you can.
